You can check out your near pet shop for sponge filter. It does good job and easy to clean up. If you only see small ones, buy 2. Make sure you buy good one. Do not buy some crappy filter. Some of them can make your small shrimps to stuck in the filter.

Hi and welcome to ShrimpNow!

Please use the Search for such questions. There are various threads about different kinds of filters. For your tank an external filter with a good protection of the inlet would be fine. A large sponge filter would also to a quite good job.

BTW, you orthography was not that well. I edited your post. Please use real words like "to" instead of "2" and "for" instead of "4" (see also the forum rules). Use the spell check, too. That's this button: http://www.shrimpnow.com/forums/images/editor/spelling.gif You can find it above the smilies when you write a new post.

Best regards

I use an external cannister, it gives me extra 10L water volume and a sponge is attached to water inlet pipe.
